Brief Answer:
Emergency contraceptive pills. Pregnancy termination with medicines.

Detailed Answer:
Hi there,

As per your history of 32 days cycle, your second sex act of 25th January might be in the fertile period of the cycle.
As you have suspicion of condom leak, I will suggest you to take emergency contraceptive pills.
If taken within 72 hours of unprotected sex act, it is shown to prevent pregnancy in most of the cases.
Please seek prescription support of your treating doctor, for the same.

If this option is not feasible or possible, please wait for the expected date of periods. If you happen to cross your dates, please get morning's first sample tested for pregnancy. Even if you are pregnant, you can opt for termination of pregnancy with medicines safely till 9 weeks of pregnancy, under medical supervision.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks.
Dr. Purushottam Neurgaonkar
